Plugin Alliance and Lindell Audio Release Limiter

Plugin Alliance announces its new partnership with Lindell Audio, the Swedish designer of highly prized analog hardware for audio engineering and also of impeccable plugin emulations of audio hardware. Plugin Alliance will take over the worldwide distribution, marketing and support for Lindell's plugins, including the brand new Lindell Audio 254E Limiter, a precise plugin emulation of the all-time great Neve 2254 limiter/compressor from 1969.

The original 2254 was designed for broadcasting, but was born to rock. Music producers quickly plucked it out of the radio market, recognizing it as one of the most colorful limiters ever made, and used its rock 'n' roll soul to start slamming tracks and busses. The Lindell 254E Limiter ($149 MSRP) painstakingly emulates the legendary hardware. It's not the plugin for subtle compressing or limiting; if you want to transform a meek drum buss into bombs from Bonham, the Lindell 254E is just the ticket.

Lindell Audio's other plugins, now distributed through Plugin Alliance, include:

7X-500 ($99 MSRP) – plugin version of the hardware compressor/limiter that is Lindell's take on the "FET-76 sound," but with added features like stereo operation and continuously variable attack and release.

6X-500 ($99 MSRP) – plugin version of the Lindell mic preamp with passive 2-band Pultec-style EQ, but with added features like high- and low-pass filters with variable slopes.

The ChannelX bundle ($249 MSRP) packages the above three plugins with the ChannelX shell, which lets you run all three plugins at once, for $48 off the combined individual prices. Also newly available, the 100% Lindell Bundle ($349) adds the new 254E Limiter plugin to the ChannelX bundle for a savings of $97 off the combined plugin prices.

"I’m very excited to join the Plugin Alliance team," said Tobias Lindell, music producer and founder of Lindell Audio. "We share the same vision and quality thinking about analog sounding plugins.”

Lindell Audio plugins are now available through Plugin Alliance in AAX native, VST and AU formats for Mac OS 10.6 or higher and Windows 7 or 8. All Plugin Alliance products are available for fully-functional 14-day demos from a single downloadable installer.
